Kokopelli
the Wanderer is the uplifting, magical story of a little boy with a
strange destiny. Kokopelli’s feathery antennae terrify his village, and
his parents are forced to abandon him soon after birth. It is then that he
is discovered and adopted by the Queen of the Ants. For many happy years,
Kokopelli lives with the ants in their bustling, underground colony. Over
time he realizes that he must leave the only home he has ever known to
embark upon an epic and frightening journey to the perilous World Above.
Learning from a host of creatures along the way, he begins to slowly
unravel the shrouded mystery of who he is —and where he came from.
Brimming with vivid descriptions of life in an ant colony and the wonders
of the desert wilderness, this poetically written story of adventure and
redemption is a joy for young readers and adults alike.
